Hi,

Can guests who do not have a mahara account search for collections, pages, profiles, etc. that students have set as public by keyword?

The purpose is to enable students to search and browse the portfolio published on mahara by their destinations and employment.

Hi AB-Net,

This is only possible at the moment if you have the following enabled:

1) Have Elasticsearch server installed somewhere

2) Have Mahara use elasticsearch for search method

3) Have '$cfg->publicsearchallowed = true;' in your config.php file

This can be seen in action on this very site - non logged in people (guests) can search by keyword items that are public

Cheers

Hi Robert,

Thank you for the quick response.

I have never used Elasticsearch.
I'm not confident, but I'll act as you taught me.

If you have any information or samples that I can refer to, I would appreciate it if you could let me know.

Thank you.

Hi AB-Net,

Alternatively, you could check with University of Arts London if they'd be willing to share their code for their public homepage. You can't search for portfolios, but you can see public portfolios directly.

Please refer to the documentation for Elasticsearch for the recommended setup.

Cheers

Hi Kristina,

Thank you for answering.

> You can't search for portfolios, but you can see public portfolios directly.

I want to be able to search and evaluate my student portfolio by where I go to school or work.

I try refer to the documentation for Elasticsearch for the recommended setup.

I will ask again if something I don't understand.

Thank you.

AB-Net.
